Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy

Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.

From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.

It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.

It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.

The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.

Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.

My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.

I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

State Police: Commendable Step, but Disorderly Legislation Raises Concerns of Political Misuse

The recent passage of the State Police Bill by the National Assembly marks a significant legislative milestone in addressing a long-standing demand of the Nigerian people. For years, many of us, alongside security experts and regional stakeholders, have consistently argued that a highly centralised policing structure is fundamentally unsuitable for a country as vast, diverse, and complex as Nigeria. However, the legislative and constitutional implementation appears shaky and raises legitimate concerns.

The process should involve greater community participation. Policing should be more visible at the local government and community levels. The mechanism for passing the law appears highly disorganised, with no public hearing on such a sensitive issue. Indeed, the rush to enact the law without proper legislative procedures fuels suspicion among many observers about the political motives behind it.

The greatest concern does not arise from logistical issues; it stems from history. There is a widespread, justifiable fear that state police forces could become instruments in the hands of governors. The suspicion is that a state-controlled police force could be weaponised to suppress political rivals, disrupt opposition rallies, and manipulate elections.

For state policing to evolve from a risky political gamble into a genuine security solution, the law must not only permit states to establish police forces but also clearly provide for independent oversight bodies, such as a state-level Police Service Commission that is entirely free from executive influence, to ensure that policing serves the public interest rather than the interests of the ruling elite.

Going by what Nigerians have seen so far, there is no guarantee that this administration can resist the temptation to take advantage of state policing to influence the 2027 general election by proxy. In view of that possibility and the danger it poses to the polity, it is necessary to defer its implementation until after the general election.

Delighted to Return to School of Nursing Sciences, Emekuku, Owerri, Imo State.

In continuation of my itinerant visits to educational and healthcare institutions in the country, yesterday, I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, Holy Rosary Hospital, Emekuku, where I met with the management, staff, and students, and presented a donation of ₦15 million to the institution.

I reminded the students that the world needs them more than they need the world because healthcare is one of humanity’s most fundamental needs. Any nation that truly desires development must invest in the education and training of healthcare professionals, who remain indispensable to the well-being and productivity of society.

I was delighted to inspect the computer laboratory, which I had previously supported, and to witness the remarkable progress the institution has made. It was also encouraging to reflect on other health institutions, such as Iyi-Enu and Borromeo, which I supported over the years and which have now grown into teaching hospitals. Their transformation reinforces my belief that sustained investments in health and education can produce enduring results. I look forward to seeing Holy Rosary Hospital attain the same status.

Our vision must be to build a Nigeria where functional institutions produce competent professionals, where investments are directed to critical sectors that lift people out of poverty, and where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. That is how we will build a nation where the son of nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

Dear Nigerians, PAY ATTENTION!

Please know God yourself. They have turned your Christianity & Gospel Music into a sham.

But our God cannot be mocked. All I feel now is pity for the innocent ones among the Christians in Nigeria. God’s judgment will start from the church. Many that call his name are only after their pockets. They kneel before man, not God.

Please read your Bible & pray for the spirit of discernment. My Jehovah Jireh is not an author of confusion. You don’t need a man to connect you to God. He is there for those who genuinely seek his face. Your network is prayers & praises

He enjoys it when you shower him with prayers & worship. His mercy is abundant, & it’s for everybody. Our God doesn’t discriminate.

Just ask for his forgiveness today, invite him in & he will come in & dwell inside your heart. He will give you peace. He alone is all you need!

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

BREAKING: The Kwankwasiyya Movement has launched nationwide voter education lectures focused on strategies to prevent election rigging ahead of the 2027 general elections in Nigeria.

[JUSTICΞ 🫶🏽⭕️ @offshoda]

I voted for Peter Obi in the last election after they counted the total votes casted in my ward and Obi won, I went back to my hotel.

I regretted that action, never again

So this election, after casting my vote and counting it in my ward, I will be following the inec returning officer to AMAC and making sure Obi wins there too, if possible I will park at ICC gate and make sure Peter Obi is declared the winner before driving back to my hotel this time around.

If the mandate is stolen again, this time around I will start protest from there straight to the National Assembly.

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

The NDC was told to hold their party primaries. But they decided to hold a general election.

From Delta to Sokoto, Kano to Lafia, Lagos to Ogbia. All across Nigeria, people trooped en masse to be counted. The NDC is the only Democratic Party in Nigeria. What I saw today was shocking. Nigerians are tired, people are genuinely fed up. They want the APC gone!

This is going to be the mother of all campaigns.

Voting APC out should be a national assignment by all Nigerians

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

ADC is focused on NDC. NDC is focused on winning as many seats as possible. Let’s keep building. Let’s keep mobilizing. We need unity now more than rancor. Get your PVC & get as many people to register. Remember we are the underdogs. How else will victory make sense?

[Harry Da Diegot @trigottista]

Tinubu is ready to act like a drunkard while he schemes for your demise

We might laugh over his stupidity but do not be deceived.

HE IS EVIL

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

Dear Nigerians, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION!

Online registration is incomplete!

Please proceed to the nearest INEC office & complete the process. You can mobilize as many friends, family, colleagues, & mommies & daddies to INEC; as much as your pocket can carry. See this as your own civic responsibility.

Registering online is not enough!

You must immediately proceed to the INEC office nearest to you (or in your LGA or state) to complete your biometrics, & capture as well..

Please go & register for your PVC. Registration is still on. It started since May 11 & it will close on Friday, July 10. Those who recently turned 18 should hurry. If you’ve lost your PVC or it’s damaged, please do not register afresh.

Just visit https://t.co/PwpTeQTQ9I or the nearest INEC office & apply for a replacement. You can also transfer your PVC to your new location. Visit the INEC office in your LGA or state, & apply for a transfer. We need to vote out the clown.

Inflation is crazy. The cost of living is killing the living. Things are too expensive. No peace of mind. Banditry is everywhere. Our children are inside the bush. Aso Rock tenants are detached from reality. They live in cloud cuckoo land.

NO ONLY DEM WAKE COME O !!!!!

On Election Day, please don’t sit at home. Come outside & vote, our votes must count!

We vote & follow INEC officials to the ward, LGA, & state collation centers. It’s going to be a Vigil night across Nigeria. There will be no 4am declaration. Please let’s do the right thing!

Talk is cheap, action speaks louder. 🙏🙏
